PHP

PHP uses versionator output emit to generate a Version.php file with constants:

Version.php (generated)

<?php
// Auto-generated by versionator. Do not edit.

const VERSION = '1.0.0';
const MAJOR = 1;
const MINOR = 0;
const PATCH = 0;
const GIT_HASH = 'abc1234';

Generate Version File

# Generate Version.php
versionator output emit php --output src/Version.php

# With pre-release and metadata
versionator output emit php --prerelease="beta" --metadata="{{ShortHash}}" --output src/Version.php

Usage in PHP

src/Application.php

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/Version.php';

echo "Application version: " . VERSION . "\n";
echo "Major: " . MAJOR . ", Minor: " . MINOR . ", Patch: " . PATCH . "\n";
